The Essence Of A Godly Wife

She bares the pain and joy of this world with praise and thanksgiving.A man chiseled by life, attempts to conquer what he has already been given.Yet she brings him to his knees, not as to extinguish his heart, but rather to kindle a flame so that God may know he is His own.

She knows well disappointment and pain.The cross she bears is not of wood and nail.Her eyes focused on the Lord she humbly gives praiseFor the pain of our sins was earthly then raised.She reminds him ours cannot compare.He bows his head with tear for he has been fed.
